Too bad, let's hope the developer will further work on it (and will not get a c&d) , for the time i've been playing, it's very fun and has lots of good idea.

[Hanzoku]

Is there anywhere we can find a changelog, or only by downloading the most recent version? I'm asking because in the version I downloaded yesterday, my marines were somewhat... cowardly during invasions, and refused to attack the orks. (Taking offensive actions in invasions were broken or not built yet.)

I know I'll be sticking endless hours into this, just as soon as I can properly bring the Emperor's Fury (or Furah?) to the orcs by crushing them under the treads of a Land Raider.

This seems to be super-seat-of-his-pants development. So deving without really communicating.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Any communication will likely come via 4chan. Search the /tg/ catalog for the Chapter Master thread and watch that space.

[EnigmaticHat]

Made a custom chapter focusing on a large ground force and strong crafting/tech.  Started with 980 marines and 6 land raiders, not sure if that's normal or not.

Found an artifact on a low population feral world.  The planetary government handed it over without fuss.  I sent the scout company that recovered it back in their spaceship, flying directly to my homebaseplanet...

...where they were met by a huge heretic fleet which included 2 battleships and 30 smaller ships.  Apparently no one bothered to tell me that was happening.  They instantly wiped out the whole of scouting company, of course.  Fortunately the "small CSM force" on my planet doesn't seem to actually be doing anything.  It didn't trigger a combat despite having a little under half the chapter defending against them.

At this point I panicked a bit and bargained all our requisition and half our (pitiful reserves of) gene-seed for a crusade license, which I sent after the heretic fleet on my homeworld and that brownish faction that owned the system beneath mine.  Turns out that was actually a forge world or something, and absolutely no one came to help deal with the huge fleet.

At least we did well against orcs, killing well over 2000 of them with 10 casualties, only one of which was a death.  The heretic fleet is still in my home system, doing nothing.  Not sure I want to keep playing at this point though, its kind of annoying how all that detail is put into the ground forces and then the actually difficult part of the game is dealing with space forces.

I think Space is bugged, because no matter your amount of ships you aren't going to win, at-least for me which sucks balls.

[EnigmaticHat]

I've definitely won space combats.

If you want a quick test, take your entire fleet (I started with 8 of the combat transports and 10 escorts), fly over to a small imperial fleet, and start a fight with it.  If you win easily with no casualties then its not bugged.

With max chapter size, extra tech priests perk, bolter drills, and the other crafting perk I started with a battle barge, a fair few strike cruisers (6?) some hunters (2?) and some escorts. I was a fleet based chapter as well.

Against 5(or 3, I forget) ork battleships and 6 cruisers I came out ahead, but lost both hunters and all my escorts. I then took out a smaller ork fleet and a tiny heretic fleet without losses. Seems about right really.

Didn't start with exterminatus bombs though   I didn't actually notice if the bombardment cannon on the battle barge did much in ship combat, and only bombarded a planet with 70k on it, which wiped them. I'll try it some more on bigger pops, with and without the BB.

[Shooer]

Fleet based starts get a BB.  A BB acts like a monastery.

Just wish replacing ships wasn't so infeasible.

[Robsoie]

A few questions :

- It's been a bunch of turns i setup the recruiting to "Frenetic" (the max settings) to get more guys from our recruiting world, and still the recruiting guy tells me there is 0 neophytes.
Is that a bug, or am i missing something ?

- After retrieving 2 artifacts from 2 imperium world in a system (the mechanicus were very pissed off), i found out that the 2 artifacts are power armors , one of them being tainted by chaos.
For fun i decided to equip the tainted one on my chapter master to see what happens (as the imperium was already angry with me since i accdentally destroyed one of them fleet by a misclick).
And equiped the regular power armor to the 1st company captain as a reward for successfully extracting the artifact
the chaos tainted one has the words "RUN" "GLD" "Chaos" and the no-taint one has "DPA" "GLD"
Is there a way to know what bonus/malus an equiped artifact does as those letters does not mean much to me ?

[sambojin]

I've gotten a few extra marines from frenetic recruiting. But expect them in ones and twos after about 50-100 turns, not tens or hundreds after 10-20. I managed to deplete my geneseed supply by training new marines eventually, so it does happen, just not quickly. Same as the other recruitment/training options. I ended up with quite a few extra apothecaries and chaplains by the end of it. This was after playing for an hour or two.

Have no idea for the second question. Science time?

[sambojin]

DP, but whatever.....

Speaking of science, someone above mentioned that naming marine types as enemy types annoys the Inquisition. I wonder if naming them Skitaari would give you benefits, or naming them as some type of greater daemon (Bloodthirster?) and removing all their weapons (or changing them to be melee focused) would it give you that unit? Or maybe another tradeable item as a name? Even calling a marine type lascannon might be worth trying (I heard you liked lascannons dog, so I put a lascannon on your lascannon.....). Expect crashes, but it might be fun to test.

Is it Inquisitional text-parsing, or is it game-wide (including battles)?

Got work again today, but I've got the weekend off, so I'll have a play around.

[Robsoie]

I'll have to wait much more, as it's been +/- 50 turns without a single neophyte at "frenetic" recruitment.

For the demon taint, i got a message that the immaterium/warp walls were thinner or something like that, clicked enter a bit too fast.
Then after a dozen more turns my homeworld got struck by that :



(on the bottom left some eldars i just discovered few turns before)

Maybe it was related to that tainted armor, but unfortunately as i was taking screenshot and saving it, when i went back to the game, it just crashed unfortunately.

[nenjin]

All crash bugs are the Emperor protecting your frail human souls unless otherwise explicitly stated.

[Robsoie]

I guess in that situation it helped then
